Antibiotic resistance (ABR) is now recognised as a serious global health and economic threat that is most efficiently managed via a ‘one health’ approach incorporating environmental risk assessment. Although the environmental dimension of ABR has been largely overlooked, recent studies have underlined the importance of non-clinical settings in the emergence and spread of resistant strains. Despite ...
